Birth Doula Services

Your birth doula package includes the following:

Complimentary Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is always free and is offered so that you can meet me, ask questions about doula services and see if I would be a good match for you.


Prenatal Sessions

These prenatal sessions are a chance for you and I to get to know each other better so that I will know how to best support you during your labour. They provide an opportunity to talk about your hopes and plans for your labour, birth, and postpartum, to address any fears or anxieties you may have, and answer your questions.


Labour and Birth Support

I will be on call for you day and night from the time you reach 38 weeks (or earlier in some cases where medical concerns or history warrant it) until the time you go into labour. From the time I join you when you are in labour until about 2 hours after baby arrives I will stay with you to provide emotional and physical support.


Breastfeeding Support

"The statistics tell the story. Today, the majority of mothers in almost every country in the world opt for breastfeeding... But the statistics also tell us that, in many places, most of those mothers stop breastfeeding within a few weeks or months, usually earlier than they wanted to. What goes wrong? There's no one answer - every mother's story is unique. Often, though, those many individual challenges that led to weaning can be boiled down to one thing: not having the support network they needed."
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, Diane Wiessinger et al., pg. 28

I believe that mothers who chose to breastfeed their babies should be provided with the support necessary to develop and maintain a successful breastfeeding relationship. I offer support to mothers in the form of information, resources, and troubleshooting if difficulties arise.


Postpartum Visits

These visits are intended to give you a safe space to process your birth experience and ask any questions you might have about it. Assistance with breastfeeding, baby care, and household tasks can also be included in these sessions.
